"The particular mix of strontium in the teeth of the four, the researchers concluded, showed that they were born and spent their early years in West Africa."
How do they know that they spent their early years in Africa? They could have already been here and filed their teeth here.

I wonder what role the muslim slave traders played in this tragedy.

Was there rich and famous theater actors back then who worshipped the slave traders and said "slavery works" and condemned and protested the abolitionists?

Was there evidence in the rest of the article that confirmed the "slave" status of the Africans?
(Though I don't doubt that that was the case, it is a major assumption without evidence.)

One thing I found interesting from my visit to the Freedom Center in Cincinnati a few months ago was learning that so many African slaves were taken to places other than the USA, specifically, Central and South America. I don't recall learning that in school.

Does anyone think it a bit odd that the map shows a slave route from a PORTUGESE town (Elmina) in Africa to a SPANISH colony? Portugal's slaves usually went to Portugal's colonies. And if they barely know the African slaves are West African, how do they know they came from Elmina?
